Embrace - I Wouldn’t Wanna Happen to You lyrics

Know that I went as high
As I could go on my first time
Where's the fun if your
Feelings are left behind?

But it's your right when you mean it
To find the proof and make me hear it
'Cause when I'm wrong
I don't see it anymore

'Cause I feel like a fake
When I feel any feeling
And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I know you mean it

You have a laugh when you let go
That makes a big unwanted sideshow
Why count the times that you
Feel low when you shine?

'Cause you're stone cold wise
I'm in to what you're doing
And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I could never climb the
Walls you'd walk through
And it's the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I'm the one for you

I know it feels like you've
Spent your whole life
With people trying to keep you in your place
Well, no one knows you no better than me
When I say no, no, no, no

I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I can't bear to climb
The walls you walk through
But it's the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I belong with you

You pinned your hopes on me
Like I'm all you'll find
But I wouldn't wanna happen to you this time
No, gone away no, gone away
No, gone away, no
